The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part ten — Page 174

I'm just going to hope he hasn't recorded Just As I Am yet. I'll pray he comes to the realization that repeating the same phrase approximately 15 times in one song usually doesn't produce good results.

Otherwise, I hope so, and I hope they were recorded as they were performed. I suppose I miss the "rockstar" persona somewhat, but I think the songs would suffer from overproduction or too much production at all, actually.

And as for me, I'm excited about some aspects... general responsibility, being on my own, but at the moment I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do and what steps I need to take to get there, and I'm a little freaked out that I only have until May to plan it out. How did senior year sneak up on me so fast? I think that I'll probably be less stressed out about it when I'm back into the swing of things with school, though.

I second the compliments of Chloe's avatar!

Lexi, I'm sure that you might feel completely differently, but I hated sociology. I only took intro, though, and had a professor that I wasn't fond of. I'm just too scientifically-minded, I guess, and a lot of it seemed like psychology minus the empirical science part. I do find the criminology aspects interesting, though.

Elphie, you're just begging for a Rent quote! But seriously, the biggest waste of your time is worrying about getting older and death, because there's nothing you can do about them. I've done my share of wasting time, so I feel a little hypocritical giving anyone advice about it, but I think the best way to avoid it is to pursue whatever you feel passionate about.

One of the biggest ways in which I've wasted my time is in letting my fears about new and unknown situations rule me, so do your best to overcome those - without losing your common sense, of course.

Terribly OT, but the Rent Podcast is updated. Includes 2 videos of Daphne singing Out Tonight at Rent 10. Disappointing since I bet people have seen them already on BWW's "unforbidden site." =P

Lexi, that fear is very familiar to me too. Not only does it keep us from doing fun things, but it also keeps us from learning. There was a very striking statement in a NY Times Book review that said that advances in engineering are basicaly contingent on some building or bridge collapsing. We can learn a huge amount from our mistakes - or not, which happens all too often.

I'm off now - have a good night.

I don't know which is worse: growing up or getting older and not being allowed to grow up.

My dad wouldn't let me move out when I went to college. My college experience? Lame and unexciting as it could have possibly been.

I just graduated, I'm 22 and I live the life of your typical 14 year old. The other day my brother actually told me to go change because I was wearing a dark see through thinly knitted blouse. It was totally innocent and I wasn't going anywhere.

To top it all off, my own friends treat me like I’m 13. It’s annoying, upsetting and sometimes demoralizing. My friends think they're my parents and treat me like their daughter.

I do worry about the real world but there's not a sense of anything other than fear itself because I know I don't have to be responsible for anything. I'm grateful but unprepared to face any real challenges. Again, I don't know which is worse.

Whoops, I also wanted to pass along a link Lexi found. This is a blog about Adam's Friday concert from someone who seems to be a more casual fan, but who loved the show nonetheless.
Review

October. Soooooooon.

I'm so jealous that you're all going to go see him. Come to Chicago!!!!!!!!!

I hope he's branching out, because I think a slightly older, more serious crowd is going to appreciate his new material the most.

You're right, Angela. Two years ago on July 31, insomniak started the first Love Thread - not only the first one for Adam, but the first one ever on BWW. Now there seems to be one for half the performers on Broadway. Never forget who was first though.

AP Online hasn't been accessible to me for the last couple of days either. This has happened a couple of times before too. I wonder what the problem is.

I hope that gets worked out. It's a shame that more people can't see what's there right now.

I've been working on the gorgeous lyrics for A Single Drop of You. I have a feeling this song will haunt me as much as the first one. Some of it is pretty clear, some things I've put down are iffy, and other lines I couldn't get at all, like the first one. See what you think and correct and fill in what I've missed.

A Single Drop of You

[............]
Pushed here by the wind
So much sky
A rebel wave carried me here

In a lightning flash
On thirsty ground
How you appeared, my love
Your beautiful gaze that I knew

You fill my eyes
And I burn for you
And I cannot rest
Till I'm drowned in your love

Today I live for
A single drop of you
Of you

Barefoot steps cross broken glass
[......................]
Stand drenched in heaven’s rain
Together, alive, in his grace

And you fill my eyes
And I burn for you
And I cannot rest
Till I'm drowned in your love

Today I live for
A single drop
Today I live for
A single drop of you

We [...] to the forest
To the river’s edge
Naked water
Made us free

And you fill my eyes
And I burn for you
And I cannot rest
Till I'm drowned in your love

Today I live for
A single drop
Today I live for
A single drop
Today I live for
A single drop of you
